[quote=Anonymous]Potomac and Langley, with their wonderful reputations, are understandably the "go to" schools for McLean. However, I suspect Norwood sometimes is unnecessarily overlooked based on "logistics" alone because it is across the bridge and perceived as being farther away than it really is. Depending on where you live in McLean, Norwood generally is 15-20 minutes away. Many families travel to Norwood from DC and other locations that are much farther away. We chose Norwood for a number of reasons, including foreign language starting in K, extremely robust art, music and drama, expansive grounds, ability to drop off and pick up our child, short daily "chapel," small groups for math and reading, award-winning character education program and numerous personal touches like the lower school head shaking hands and greeting each student by name each day. Some of the ways that Norwood differs from Potomac and Langley will have no appeal or be considered drawbacks to some parents comparing schools, but Norwood's "distinctives" might be of interest to others.
